Tim OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 7, 1915. ; 1 i i ; Miriam Cooper At the r m v. If .- A V., 9 71 y t r r V HE Birth of a Nation," which, with tta superb and inspiring mimical . acttlnjr, rendered complete by a symphony or chestra, tta bewildering sound and light and color efforts. will be presfintad at tha Brandala thaatar next Funday night and continuing In definitely, may ba generally "covered'' aa follows: There ara twelve reals of vivid, real latlo spectacle which tall the atory ef a doubla romance, whl h explains the attitude of tha north and the defenae of he stubborn south over the slave lasiie, and which carry one through scenes of the lone, cruel war, Ita message to tha world being "Liberty and union, one and Inseparable." Colonel fltonemaa of the north Is In love with the slsier of Colonel Cameron of the south. And Colonel Cameron Is Infatuated with the sister of Colonel Stoneman. These romances are depicted before the war and the views show how the drawing of lines and the commence ment of war w-irkcd estrangement, dis tress and hardship en the young lovers and members of their families. Brave young men embrace their moth ers, sisters and sweethearts and depart for army service, their emotions being depleted in their resolute facta. Tha piotures also show patriotic women at home sewing and knitting for the sol diers. Tiie magic films reveal the Interiors of northern and southern homes. One see vast armies mustered to march away to war. In a twinkling the scene changes ant the sun shines brightly on a snowy cot ton field in the south, with scores of negroes of all ages plucking the white llcSKoma. Fctlvr little lilennlnnlrs caper about and at nlgMfsIl In cabin quarters singing and dancing are Indulged In by tho slaves. Bondage Is visualised with Its sorrows, and Ha Joys. As the war progresses great battles are fought anl the thrilling action from rifle fire to cavalry clashes and artillery duels Is depicted In pictorial form as true to Ufa as It Is poaclblo for human agency to simulate. Scenes are unfolded In which fully 11,004 soldiers and 1.000 cavalry, the largest theatrical army ever assembled, are active I ; the performance of the good , and bad deads of warfare. One aeea a bayonet charge with a quiver of excite ment and closes his eyes at alsht of the rive to carry away the fallen and hos pitals throw doors 'open to recalve the Injured. Gentle nuraes flit from cot to cot to minister to the wants of the pa tients. ' Iltstorto scenes are depicted with realis tic effect, ranging from the battle en gagements, such as the battle of Gettys burg, the siege of Petersburg, Sherman's march to the sea and the fall of Atlanta, to events In Washington. In point of interest the Klanamen spec tacles rival the war aspects of the graphie photoplay. Such an unusual cast as will appear In support of Walker Whiteside In hla four days' engagement at Boyd's thea ter, beginning tonight, should make any theatrical performance noteworthy, and with this leading star of our stage to head the company this engagement will prove a memorable event of the sesson. This cast has been assembled by John Ort to support Mr. Whiteside In the New Tork presentation of "The Ragged Messenger," and It is a matter for con giatulation that this star's preliminary tour leads him to this, city, where he has slways been so deservedly a favorite. Chief among his support are Lilian Cavanagh. Maud Milton. Marie Peltve. Josephine Morse, Norman Lortng. Stephen Wright. Leonard Mudte, Arda Lv,rotx. Allen Thomas and W. H. Wh:te ar. Tha play has been described by Amy Leslie In the Chicago News, aa "furiously dramatic" and she paid Mr. Whiteside the tribute of saying: "lie aeta Its big scenes with force and splen dor." Other Chicago critics who were quaiiy snthuslastlo were Coarles Col lins, who declared In the Evening Post: "There Is power and meat In the story. Mr. WhiUstde has elogenc. and charm." and Richard Little, who stated In the Herald: "It Is the best thing Mr. White side has evar dona;" while the crltlo of tne Examiner added, that the star has repeated the success of "The Melting Pot." . .. It Is the habit of the public to recall the star who has won a tremendous triumph In a certain role by the name of t).t character with which he has V,ng been identified. Bo it la a eon fin Sag evidence of the success of "The Ragged Messenger" that Mr. Wnltealde's ldm rers seem to be forgetting already lis 'Typhoon" and "Melting Pot" por trayals In the enthusiasm which his present day character! nation of John Morton inspires. His engagement at tha M ii ma 1 tlrs.Letf'e Care -AtMeOt-pfieum Edward Lynch 'fil fifdntdeit 1 9 Etta doerns -At the Gyety Boyd Is limited to four days, with a popular priced matinee on Wednesday. Several new plays were considered by Mrs. Leslie Carter before it occurred to her that the fourth act of "Zssa" would serve her vaudeville purpose best of all. It is In this powerful episode, the big scene of the play, that she will be seen during the current week as the stellar event at the Orpheum. Recognised . as America's most re nowned of emotional actresses, Mrs. Car tre has not been seen la Omaha for a number of seasons. As a Belaaco star she was first seen here In "The Heart of Maryland" and later in "Du Barry."

The company will go intact to other rltlea In which Craw ford, Phil ley and Zehruug, the managers of the Brandeia, are Interested and re turn to Omaha again some time in January. Mr. Lynch has selected "The Woman vaudeville is due to the fact that she was! He Merrled." a comedy-drama In which unable to get a new play of the right i las Virginia Harned starred a few sea son., Bo aha adapted her tabloid "Zasa" iroro tha Belasco version of the plsy, realising as she did that her clientele would much prefer to see her In the role which first won for her recognition aa America's leading emotional actress.

Max Ford and Ger trude Dolaa will present a daodug act sons ago. as tha production for the clos ing week. In thla play tha author, Mr. Baahford, takea a curious theme. In thla work tha author quietly and deftly turns over some of our more popu lar and accepted social prejudices and makes them look somewhat absurd. Though ha does not try to send propa ganda over the footlights, he gets In msny a shrewd thrust at economic Injus tices, particularly at the Injustice that puts girls and women at so hideous a dis advantage. But his aim is always inter est and entertainment. He keeps his fig ures olive and he gives them what all actora prise, opportunities to themselves In action. Miss McQrane and Mr. Lynch will be seen to great advantage In the leading roles, supported by the other stock favorites. The stock company will appear every night this week, with matinees today, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. express A most varied and pleasing progrtm la offered to Strand ratrons week.
